Can you do something about it? Because if you can't, Trump won't care about whether you "accept" it at all. As far as he's concerned, he'll just stuff your ass into the first plane heading out to whatever 3rd world country he struck a deal with. The rest is your problem.

This isn't Central America, if a political opponent is rendered. There will be hell to pay insane amount of general strikes and protests
-
Kinda. LA is already on edge. Piss off New York, I dare him.
-
In the US? Lol right.

It's going to be hard for future historians to write about our times because there will just be too many sources.
-
Or zero sources left. With Climate change and Nazis on the rise worldwide, there may not be any historians left to write down this sad ending.

Maybe Zuckerberg will cover it in his memoirs written from his bunker in Hawaii....
-
For sure. Did you see Alaska’s big news today?

"History is written by the victors"
I still learn things about WW2 about how fucked the whole thing really was.

Honestly, if ICE just showed up and kidnapped him off the street and "deported" him to some shithole country....what would anyone really do?
-
I think this would actually trigger real rioting and violence. And that would give the Trump the veneer of legality he needs for Republican support to enact martial law. And that would trigger more rioting and violence spreading beyond NY. It would be a catastrophically stupid move on Trump's part. So probably by end of the month.

Take inspiration from Luigi.

Blue shells for the blue bloods!

So I'm mixed on this. For one, I know it'd be a horribly bad thing if they do do this. It'd be blatantly the wrong thing to do. However, I think we need something to push people over the edge to make them force real change. If the Trump adm. does this, that would have to be a step too far for almost everyone, right? It could actually put us on the path to fixing things.
Obviously, I don't want them to do this, but I'm conflicted because I think it could lead us down a (very perilous) path to fix the nation.

We probably also need other states to plan similar implementations as Mamdani so the wealthy don’t simply pull their businesses elsewhere.
-
Fucking fascist ghouls. Good on Mamdani for not putting up with it, though it's horrifying that this is already a fucking concern.
-
If I lived in New York I would volunteer to protect him

If the Cheetoh gives you any of his airtime (by disapproval, especially), you have our Recognized Seal of Approval.

Thank you for helping Make the future bright again!
